How to get current category details on listing page - magento 2

Hello Friends,

Here is the code to get details of current category in magento 2.

Please add below code in list.phtml (or you want any page of catalog) and you will get the category details in magento 2.

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$category = $objectManager->get('Magento\Framework\Registry')->registry('current_category');//get current category
var_dump($category->getData());

You will get output like this

array(34) { ["store_id"]=> string(1) "1" ["entity_id"]=> string(1) "4" ["attribute_set_id"]=> string(1) "3" ["parent_id"]=> string(1) "2" ["created_at"]=> string(19) "2014-10-31 02:53:53" ["updated_at"]=> string(19) "2016-08-24 16:11:56" ["path"]=> string(5) "1/2/4" ["position"]=> string(1) "2" ["level"]=> string(1) "2" ["children_count"]=> string(1) "4" ["name"]=> string(9) "Furniture" ["image"]=> string(9) "mens1.png" ["meta_title"]=> NULL ["display_mode"]=> string(8) "PRODUCTS" ["custom_design"]=> string(0) "" ["page_layout"]=> string(0) "" ["default_sort_by"]=> NULL ["url_key"]=> string(9) "furniture" ["url_path"]=> string(14) "furniture.html" ["is_active"]=> string(1) "1" ["landing_page"]=> NULL ["is_anchor"]=> string(1) "1" ["include_in_menu"]=> string(1) "1" ["custom_use_parent_settings"]=> string(1) "1" ["custom_apply_to_products"]=> string(1) "1" ["description"]=> string(30) "
This is our custom text
" ["meta_keywords"]=> NULL ["meta_description"]=> NULL ["custom_layout_update"]=> string(0) "" ["available_sort_by"]=> NULL ["custom_design_from"]=> NULL ["custom_design_to"]=> NULL ["filter_price_range"]=> NULL ["path_ids"]=> array(3) { [0]=> string(1) "1" [1]=> string(1) "2" [2]=> string(1) "4" } }

if you want only get category name or id than you can use like

echo $category->getName(); echo $category->getId();
